I have to agree-communication is the key factor in a loving, successful relationship. If you can't communicate with your better half, then you're at a lost. Without communication, there's really nothing to build on--I know many feel trust. But, you must trust to open up to your better half and that's communicating. Always keep things open and honest--I feel is important in communicating.

I would have to agree with B.B. and say that compatibility is most important. I do not see the point of communication if couples are not at all compatible.

I think respect is the most important. If that is there, everything else will follow.

i am leanin towards compatability, because that leads to agree on all the fundamental. Once i saw how compatable my husband and I were is was easier to open my heart and began to trust and build on our relationship

How do you know you are compatable if it is not communicated? Communication is key, but so is a listening ear and an open and sound mind.

I Beleive you have a strong friendship with your partner first, before they become that special person in your life. With that friendship you get to know if you are compatable with them.

Ben & I have just celebrated 33 years. Communicate in the good and the bad. With communicating comes listening to what is said and what is unsaid. God Bless.

When I read this question, I remembered something I heard from Dr. Phil, that it's not how many times or what you argue about, it's about how you resolve to make up. That said, I'd say the most important factor in regards to a relationship, is forgiveness...
